I study the equivalence between the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT), Restricted Likelihood Ratio Test (RLRT) and the F-test when testing variance components within the class of generalized split-plot (GSP) models. In this work, ...

Selecting an appropriate prior distribution is a fundamental issue in Bayesian Statistics. In this dissertation, under the framework provided by Berger and Bernardo, I derive the reference priors for several models which ...

Identifying anomalies in computer networks is a challenging and complex problem. Often, anomalies occur in extremely local areas of the network. Locality is complex in
this setting, since we have an underlying graph ...

Stable isotope sourcing is used to estimate proportional contributions of sources to a mixture, such as in the analysis of animal diets, plant nutrient use, geochemistry, pollution, and forensics. We focus on animal ecology ...

Christensen and Lin (2014), henceforth C-L, suggested two lack-of-fit tests to assess the adequacy of a linear model based on partial sums of residuals.
In particular, their tests evaluated the adequacy of the mean function. ...
